Miles, along with Inigo Pascual, Julia Barretto, Angel Aquino, and Dimples Romana will be starring in And I Love You So which will be premiering on December 7.

While she's no stranger to dramatic roles, her character Joanna Ramirez is the first role that she would have to adapt to the longest since it's a teleserye. Miles said she managed to carry herself in the intense scenes with the help of the people she works with.

As someone who's best known for portraying light roles in sitcoms, Miles said she is is looking forward to her new role because "Dati napapanood ko lang 'yun. Na 'yung isa inaapi, 'yung isa ipagtatanggol niya ang sarili niya. So 'yung process ng paggawa namin ng show masaya so excited ako na mapanood nila."

The story willcenter on the competition between Miles's character Joanna and Julia's character Trixie over love, academic excellence, and affirmation. While the show's teaser displayed intense physical and verbal fights between Joanna and Trixie, Miles clarified that she and Julia are actually good friends off cam.
